"Well, first we need to know who to invite." Jamie sat at our kitchen table with a piece of paper in front of him.

I sat opposite and tapped my fingers against the wood, Tina's words from the other day still ingrained in my head.

"The Branch."

"Obviously." Jamie smiled as he wrote it down. "What about the guys? You Pippa, Cupcake, Monty Claude and Caleb?"

"Of course, they're your old friends."

"Your friends too." he added as he wrote them in.

"Yeah, but they've known you longer. Anyway, I think our parents would be upset if we left them out."

"True." Jamie jotted them down. "And Sophie."

"Moon forbid we leave her out." I smiled and tapped my fingers again. "What about other family? They'll probably want to be there."

"Aunts and uncles? I guess, don't some of yours live in the UK?"

"On my dad's side. Can't really leave them out, give my dad a chance to see them."

Jamie put down a few more names.

"Speaking of family, should we invite Jack?"

That threw me. "I, don't know. A lot of people won't be able to see him."

"Wouldn't be fair to leave him out, he's known us both for years! Maybe we should invite the rest of them!"

"I don't know..." I had nothing against the rest of the Guardians, it's just, they were part of my work, HOG life, and, having them at my wedding seemed, odd.

"They're busy people." I excused. "Do you think they'll have time? Putting aside a whole day for a mortal wedding where most of the guests can't see them."

"If we invite some of your HOG guys, they'll have someone to talk to." Jamie argued. "If we're inviting Jack, it's only polite, besides, think of how funny it will be to see people so confused!"

"Not sure on funny, and I don't think they'll like being walked through."

"It will be though!" Jamie insisted. "Look, we can just invite them to be polite, if they turn it down, then we can say that we tried."

"You're not going to back down on this, are you?"

Jamie shook his head.

"Okay, we'll put them down for now. We can go over this again once the date and venue is decided."

Jamie just hmmed as he wrote them down. "So, who from HOG will you invite?"

I didn't need to think. "Alice, Mary, Stephen, Chris, the Becks, Rachel and Graham." I knew there were more Descendants of Jack Frost now, and the other Heads, but I still felt that those Descendants were the ones I was closest with. They'd been there since the beginning.

"Comic book guy?" Jamie asked.

"What's wrong with him?"

"He calls you Lady Deathstrike."

"That's a problem?"

"Isn't that going to freak people out?"

"Oh now you're worried about freaking people out! I can ask him to tone it down."

"He's still a bit weird."

"According to you we're inviting the Easter Bunny, Santa Clause, the Tooth Fairy, the Sandman and Jack Frost. We passed weird a few miles back."

"...Touché." Jamie wrote the names down.

We talked for a little while more about bridesmaids and groomsmen, but eventually decided to call it a night, none of this was set in stone.


A Workshop I'd almost completely forgotten about appeared about a day later, and I was rushing around with the session plan and trying to look half respectable as I ran for the Tunnel.

Once there at the loch that Alfred often had his Workshops at I got them into several groups, some sparring on the frozen loch while watching some go through the Bergland forms out of the corner of my eye while teaching some of the younger ones the basics.

Taboo was watching the sparrers while I made Rachel, Stephen, Chris and Mary switch around with supervising the forms. Every half an hour or so the two groups would swap over, then we had a mass combat match on the ice in pairs.

The hours went by quickly and it was over. As I was making sure everyone was getting home I was approached by Mary.

"Nice ring." she said, bobbing her blonde head down, her bob hair cut bouncing. "Is it what I think it is?"

"Probably." I fiddled with it.

"Can I make a few suggestions then?"

"Not you too." I groaned. "Everyone's had something to say."

Mary completely ignored that. "It should be at least somewhat grand, if not, the reception should be, and I'd recommend two, one for your normal guests, then one later down at HOG. Trust me, trying to hide yourself during your big day is hard."

"Doesn't have to be a big day." I argued. "It's a piece of paper getting signed."

"Everyone expects something big, or at least some kind of ceremony, who are you to disappoint them?" Mary had a smirk as she continued. "Also, I'd recommend outdoors. Imagine being in a hot room for ages with all those people watching you." she answered my unspoken question.

A shiver went down my spine. "Good point."

"And finally, white confetti for when you and your fiancé kiss."

"Why?" my mind was a bit frazzled from managing the Workshop.

"You kiss, your emotions are all over the place, power goes nuts. It happens with me as well." she assured. "If there's white confetti timed to go when you two kiss, it'll hide the snow."

I nodded, then gave her a side look. "This is from personal experience isn't it?"

"Yes."

"Good, I'll see you there."

Mary made to leave, but stopped and turned back around. "Was that an invitation?"

"An informal one, but yes."

Mary smiled. "See you indeed."


I looked at the stack of returned invitations in front of me, not quite sure what to think. Specifically the five in front of me.

"They all said yes." I said, stunned. North and Toothiana had sent wordy response, while Bunnymund, Jack and Sandman had sent short responses with various degrees of excitement.

"Yeah! Isn't it great?" at least Jamie was excited.

"Yeeeaah."

"Hey, come on, they're taking time out for this." Jamie's smile hadn't diminished. "And we'll have legends at our wedding!"

"I suppose that is cool." I was still nervous about the idea. "I just guess they'll have to get their own table so no one sits in them."

"That would be funny."

"Yeah, later, and not for them." We retained serious expressions for a few seconds, before turning and snorting with laughter.

"Okay, yeah, that would be funny, but we shouldn't do that to them."

"No, but it will happen, or something like that will happen."

"Let's leave that to be spontaneous."

"Agreed, funnier that way."

Here we go, a different scene from the Mimpossible one!
